So Hamilton gets 1 year, 5.25 million with a mutual option for 2020. Which side do these types of options benefit on short term contracts?

Both. Player gets more guaranteed money. Team shifts financial obligation 1 year out.

If they trusted non-roided Bonifacio to be a quality MLB player, I don’t think this happens. I expect him to be the odd man out this year, either at Omaha or elsewhere.
Suspect he and Phillips may both start at Omaha unless they’ve given up on Soler in RF and plan to DH him most of the time.

In the FG dashboard, there are 4,003 players all time with >200 games played. Baines rates as the 7th worst all time in terms of defensive value created. Here’s what he did:
Offense: 243.5 runs Defense: -235.7 Base running: -8.8 Total: -1 So he basically didn’t create or destroy any runs over 20 years, mostly as a pretty good hittting DH who didn’t run or field. If you count him as a RF where he started, his 38 fWAR ranks 24/25 who got in. The avg RF war is over 70. Summary: this Shithead has no business being in. |

Any idea when preseason farm system rankings are released? I'm curious to see how far we've progressed. I'd venture a completely uneducated guess of maybe around 22-23 out of 30?

We better trade Hamilton by the end of this year. Can't wait to get another Brandon Maurer out of it.

Looks like the Royals selected Sam McWilliams, a 6'7" pitcher from the Rays in the rule 5 draft this morning.

I believe we also lost someone. Luciano is his name I think?

We'll see if the Jays can stash him away in the 25 man roster for a year. |

Apparently we also lost Elvis Luciano, a high upside 18 year old pitcher to the Blue Jays. That's strange that he was even available. We'll see if he can stick in the majors.

It's bizarre that Luciano is even Rule 5 eligible to me. There must be some caveat to the Rule 5 that I'm unaware of. Generally speaking a guy signed under 18 years of age isn't eligible for the Rule 5 until his 5th Rule 5 draft period. Near as I can tell this should only be his 3rd. There must be some kind of weird wrinkle in there for guys that signed as a free agent and are never technically draft eligible. I really have no idea why he needed to be protected.
